Why CCS?

Our High School Volunteer Abroad programs are purpose-driven: teens who travel abroad with Cross-Cultural Solutions aren’t merely joining a tour group and observing another place; they engage in genuine cultural immersion, meaningful volunteer work, and other transformative experiences with the amazing people they meet.
Here are four core components of every Cross-Cultural Solutions program.

Parents

We understand parents may have a few hesitations about sending their teens abroad, especially if it is their first time traveling abroad. While this might seem a little frightening, it is also incredibly exciting! We’re here to give you the information you need to feel confident about this important decision for your child’s future.

Educators

Are you a teacher or guidance counselor wanting to provide a real-world international experience for your students? Want to inspire them to become local and global change agents? Your students can volunteer abroad individually, or you can go with them (for free!). Discover how you can bring your classroom to the world!
